The field of healthcare and social work constitutes a major challenge for society. The need to provide all citizens with quality, reliable and lasting health and social care, while keeping costs under control, grows daily.
Accreditation is an essential tool for generating confidence in health and social care service providers. It helps ensure, directly or indirectly, that the service providers comply with a rigorous process and deliver quality services with competent teams.
Medical installations and facilities used to care for patients are subject to regular inspections to ensure that they remain compliant with the applicable requirements. To reinforce confidence in their daily use, these inspections are carried out by accredited inspection bodies.
By providing guarantees about the competence and impartiality of these bodies, accreditation limits the risk of using a failing installation or facility, which could have serious consequences for patient health.
Certain aesthetic procedures also require accredited inspection of the installations or equipment used.
